The Mail icon in the Dock shows you how many unread email messages you have, This Cool Tool lets you create a mini controller for your email that shows a preview of what those new messages are. This is very similar to the mini controller for iTunes.
MiniMail floats above your other windows and shows you just the Subject, Sender and first couple of lines of the message text. Arrow buttons let you move between new messages. From the mini controller you can respond, forward and delete messages, just like from the regular Mail window.
